*** Given how Zhao's ranting attracted the sibling's attention and Kya's reaction to seeing him, it's clear that Aang and Katara told their children about Zhao and his attack on the Northern Water Tribe, as well as his murder of the Moon Spirit, since Kya implies they know how long he's probably been in the fog. To the siblings, especially a Waterbender like Kya, seeing Admiral Zhao might as well be meeting the boogeyman in the flesh.

** And in one shot, Aang's statue had Amon's mask over his face, his airbending symbol on top of his staff replaced with an Equalist flag. It had UncannyValley written all over it.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Suyin's ruthless tendencies has reached [[UpToEleven new heights]]: after revealing what led to the rift between her and Kuvira, Korra asks what could she do to fix the situation. Suyin's request is for Korra to enter the Avatar State, demolish Kuvira's army, and "remove" Kuvira from power once and for all. Granted, she's on the verge of losing her home to the Earth Empire, but considering that she's seen how much damage Korra can do in the Avatar State, this is unsettling. Ultimately, since Suyin knows Kuvira won't listen or reason, she sets out to assassinate Kuvira with her twin sons.

* This series is notably more graphic and darker than its predecessor; while this and ''Avatar the Last Airbender'' are still children's cartoons and therefore show no real gore or blood, that doesn't stop characters from being killed or tortured, usually to a horrifying degree. The inclusion of bending in this universe makes the kills more creative and horrfic. Don't believe me? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g03uioy3wQw Someone made a kill count on Youtube...]]
